Yep. I would also not recommend fiddling in the system directories.
It's a nightmare to straighten out things if you ever have to upgrade.
Why not do in the fvwm source directory:

(cd fvwm assumed and `uname -s` = IRIX :-)

# xpm in /usr/include/Vk/
[ -d libs/X11 ] || ( mkdir libs/X11; ln -s /usr/include/Vk/xpm.h libs/X11/xpm.h )
[ -d fvwm/X11 ] || ( mkdir fvwm/X11; ln -s /usr/include/Vk/xpm.h fvwm/X11/xpm.h )
